Communications

Our staff tells the stories of WVU. University Relations/Communications helps
prospective and current students, alumni and parents, opinion leaders, and the
community at large learn about the state’s flagship higher education institution.
The information hub for news and information about the University is our website
WVUToday.

We use traditional media, responding to media inquiries, providing faculty experts
on various topics, and issuing press releases. And we use new media, creating direct
channels of communication with people who are interested in everything about WVU.

We offer news organizations releases, videos, tip sheets and feature story ideas.
We also arrange news conferences, radio and television interviews, personal visits
to the WVU campus, satellite uplinks of news events and photo shoots.

Our staff also facilitates internal communications at WVU, producing Mountaineer
E-News and maintaining its companion
website, and we contribute to University web sites and the
WVU Magazine
. Do you have a great story idea?
